ONLY ONE in 80 Christmas cards shows the Nativity
by Jonathan Petre, Mailonline:
Just one in 80 Christmas cards features the traditional Nativity story of Jesus being born in a stable, a shocking survey by The Mail on Sunday has revealed.
Church leaders said the findings were further evidence that people were losing touch with the real reason for Christmas celebrations.
Our survey of festive designs by leading greeting card producers Hallmark and Card Factory found that only seven showed Jesus, Mary and Joseph, the wise men or an angel – out of more than 580.
When the MoS visited branches of Waitrose, Tesco, Marks & Spencer and Waterstones last week, incredibly not one was selling cards featuring the Nativity theme.
Even the Church of England has faced criticism after a parishioner complained that a card sent by her local diocese depicted a wreath hanging on a door.
